Cameron Bishop

[shaggyjay]

Late overslot draft signing made his debut today in the GCL. 3 innings, no earned runs, one hit, and one strikeout. He faced the minimum number of batters.

The key stat to me though is he had 7 groundball outs and 0 flyball outs.

I know that it was against some weaker competition, but that's impressive nonetheless.

That is excellent! Great to have him signed and playing.

21. College Jr. UF Irvine has a good program. I expect the GCL should be pretty easy for him. Good news on the GB's. 

He will forever be tied to Jack Conlon. Lol

Bishop was promoted to Aberdeen and pitched 2.2 scoreless innings today, though he was a bit fortunate, allowing 2 hits and 4 walks, including 3 walks in the third.    He benefited from an outfield assist in the 2nd inning when a runner (who had walked)!tried to go 1st to 3rd on a single.   Also, his first walk in the 3rd inning was erased on a DP.    After that, he walked the next hitter, allowed him to steal 2B, wild pitched him to 3B, walked that batter and was yanked.   The reliever, Joe Johnson, was able to induce a fly out from Brendan McKay, the no. 4 overall pick in this year's draft.

It's interesting to see that McKay hasn't pitched yet, I'm pretty sure the consensus was that he has a better future as a pitcher.

Heck of an outing from Bishop!

[Cumberbundy]

4 IP, 2HA, 0R, 6K (5 swinging).

Much cleaner outing than last time.    I'm pretty excited with some of our arms in short season ball.

Great day for our charity from mlb ??? If he blows up it will be extra special.

What kind of stuff does he have?

Low 90s, plus slider, bulldog mentality of going after hitters. Needs to develop change.

Not a scout - so will start with "What Tony said".  When I saw him on Saturday, I would add that he works pretty fast.  His delivery seemed very comfortable and fluid to me.  Pretty strong legs to drive into his pitches. 

It may be a level or two before he starts to get tested by the hitters IMO.

[Cumberbundy]

Looks like he's ready to move on up.

I'm not expecting any more promotions this year, with the MiL season ending in 11 days.

[Cumberbundy]

No no but he's proven ready for the next level heading into 2018 I'd think. A heck of a miracle signing for the Birds.
